As summer ends and schools are back in session, MWR continues to take in over 100 patients each month. That’s a lot of mouths to care for, and we are incredibly grateful to all our supporters who make it possible for us to save our native wildlife. Check out this post to see some of the amazing animals we have cared for recently!
We encourage everyone to take advantage of the cooler mornings and connect with nature on our two miles of hiking trails at the ARK Trails. Located at 7001 W Commerce St, Hernando MS 38632. Open daily sunrise to Sunset.
Patient Update:
This month we admitted 109 new patients into care representing 31 bird and 4 reptile species.
